Summer 2015: we were both hired at Build-a-Bear (thanks, Kevin and Jesse!) Summer 2016: after almost a year of friendship, we started dating Summer 2018: Becca was hired for her first teaching job in Robbinsdale, so we became a long distance couple Spring 2020: brought Becca back to Duluth and we were both thrilled to be back in the same city Autumn 2024: after a very (very) long hike at Lutsen over MEA weekend, we're engaged! All the years in between were filled with lots of life, love, and adventures. See "Gallery" for some favorites over the years!
